This is just a quick bugfix for those of you with square screens. Ed Thompson found the bug where square screens were not displaying correctly. I had set anchors when I shouldn’t have, and it should now be fixed. In doing this, I also fixed the landscape(rotation) bug.

.Net CF 3.5 https://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/08/07/net-cf-3-5-cab/

SQLCE: https://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/06/07/sqlce-cab-files-for-ppcs/

As I have opted to respond by email to errors posted, I thought I would give an overview of what certain errors mean, and what to do about them.

If you do not have SQLCE installed, you will get this error:

Gasmate.exe
MissingMethodException
File or assembly name
’system.data.sqlserverce,
version=3.5.0.0 culture=neutral,
publickeytoken=3be235df1c8da2d3′,
or one of its dependencies, was not
found.

The solution to this is to install the SQLCE cabs I have hosted or download it from Microsoft.

If you have an old version of GasMate, you might get an error similar to this:

GasMate.exe
SqlCeException

The solution to this is to either delete the database, or export your data and modify it to re-import it.

If you have a smartphone(WM Standard), you will get this error:

NotSupportedException

Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAR(PAL_ERROR.ar)

Unfortunately at this time, WM Standard does not support some of the form elements I am using in GasMate. Later on there is the possibility of a fork that will work on WM Standard.

This is a bugfix version with a few features added:

• Decimal separator is now pulled from localization info
• Dollar sign($) is also pulled from localization info
• Last gas type used is remembered
• Added an extra digit to gals and price
• CAB file is now compressed to make it smaller, I will work on the EXE’s next

I wanted to release something more “done” as an RC, but this will work too. I needed to fix a bug in the maintenance table but you guys also have a treat…….a new tapping method to enter the ODO reading. YOU MUST HAVE .26B BEFORE UPGRADING TO THIS VERSION. Basically, you need to have done the database change instructions from before. Doing them again here will also work.
